What are experiences with running TSM server on Linux x86 box? Mgmnt here wants to go that way to save dollars. Currently have on AIX on a p660-6H1 with 4GB RAM and 4x 750 MHz procs. 3584 library FC attached with 14 LTO 23 drives. Backup from 450+ servers about 2 TB per day and make offsite

Re: TSM Database Reorg

How big is that DB? This thing really works still? And 95% used! How long does expiration take, etc, etc.? David B. Longo System Administrator Health First, Inc. 3300 Fiske Blvd. Rockledge, FL 32955-4305 PH 321.434.5536 Pager 321.634.8230 Fax:321.434.5509 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Reuse node name

Correct, you don't want to put new server OS on old nodename. I typically use RENAME NODE and keep old data for awhile. I use convention of NODENAME * NODENAME_OLD. If need to restore some old file, I can do the switcheroo to restore, then switch back. Remember to reassociate new node name

Re: TSM 5.2x IBM 3584 Library

To avaid havign a rep to each tape, for instance on CHECKIN, use option Search=BULK on CHECKOUT use Remove=BULK. DRM CHECKOUT commands have a SIMILAR OPTION. This way you only have to REPLY once for each batch, not for each tape. TSM 5.3 Server I understand, removes the REPLY altogether.

Re: inventory expiration time

I think that is kind of long. You didn't say what pSeries and how much RAM or what disk TSM DB is on. I have old pSeries. IBM p660-6H1, with 4x 750 MHz Procs and 4GB RAM. TSM DB is 120 GB, 67% utilized. DB is onm FAASTT 600 Turbo on RAID 5 across 73GB 15K drives. Expiration takes 4-6 hours

Linux Cluster Backups

I haven't found any docs on backing up Linux Clusters. I've done W2K and Netware Clusters with no problem per docs. New system we have is: RHEL 4 AS u3; Red Hat Cluster Suite 4; GFS 6.1. Cluster disks are Fibre connected to IBM DS8100 and DS4800. Using TSM client 5.3.2. Do I simply follow the

Re: Label length on 3584 Library

are compatible for tape type and operation to be performed. My quick quess! David Longo [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/10/06 4:31 AM hi, just our of curiosity how is that possible ? how can changer know that he cannon put LTO1 tape in LTO3 drive ? thanks goran - Original Message - From: David Longo

Re: Label length on 3584 Library

The label lenght can be changed. There is an option on the 3584 Specialist Web Interface to change to 6 char volser reporting. However, you may not want to do that. If I understand your setup, you have LTO2 tapes with 6 char in old library. New 3584 only has LTO3 drives. You want to move old

Re: How to get rid of old TDP backups

Basically your answer is yes. However one thing that has to be right is the version of TDP on the client. Was this old client a TDP version prior to 2? If so, then you need a version 1.1 or whatever as the file nameing structure changed at version 2. They ARE NOT Compatible. I think that if

Re: 8 Characters in TSM

for new LTO1/2 tapes you label/initialize. LTO3 is 8 char. Best practice going forward is to use 8 char. There is an IBM Technote# 1217789 on this with lot of details. David Longo [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/21/06 3:20 PM I have a stranger behavior in my TSM Server ( at least to me). TSM Server 5.3.3

Re: How to tell firmware level of 3584 without the web interface?

Also from the AIX Platform: #lscfg -vpl smcX #lscfg -vpl rmtX To get firmware versions of library and tape drives. Howvere, if AIX has not been rebooted since firmware was updated, the old versions will show with these commands. To get updated versions, delete device at AIX level and run

Re: Daylight savings and tsm

If your platform (OS) is setup correclty for DST, TSM handles correctly. If you have a schedule that starts at 2:30am, then in most cases it should have a 1 Hour Duration as minimum. All my schedules have a 3 hour duration. Then when it is suddenly 3am, the schedules between 2 and 3 am will

Re: (More) IBM3584 help

1. Yes, as is embedded in firmware. There may be some kind of sublevel for Specialist but not aware of. I have firmware 5050 and don't see any version info on my Web page 2. Probably put in a hardware service call to IBM. I know with early 3584's (3 -4 years ago), there was some firmware
